Meta's Muse app continues Meta’s trend of opting users into data collection for AI training. It also nudges you to share your bank account, email, and passport information.

Muse, Meta’s New Personal AI Agent, Needs You to Trust It. Designed to compete with OpenClaw and Instinct, the company says Muse can do everything from sell your car to book you a plane ticket.

Meta’s Muse AI Assistant Rolled Out With a Serious Security Flaw. Meta says it issued a fix for the Muse zero-day vulnerability that would have let attackers do “whatever” they wanted on a victim’s Mac, highlighting the inherent dangers of AI helpers.

Meta’s Muse Is Adults-Only. Why Does It Look Like a Kids’ Toy? Meta says Muse is just for adults, though its cuddly, Labubu-like mascot—and upcoming Tamagotchi-style AI device—may be disarming for users of all ages.

The Battle to Be Your Personal AI Agent Is Here. OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse are vying to be your AI agent of choice. I've tried both—and I suspect you will too.

Open Questions

  • ?How will Meta address long-term user privacy concerns?
  • ?Will regulatory bodies investigate Muse's data collection?

The company has notified over 100 organizations of potential targeting, including multiple Australian government websites, and expects to find more cases as it uses AI to sift through records for unauthorized access or credential misuse.
